Dream sequence wavy transition

I would like to use one of those old-fashioned wavey dream sequence transtions in Premiere Pro CS5 (not 5.5) but I can't find one.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could get one (preferably free) or how to create one?

    How about playing around with Wave Warp in AE? I am not sure what exactly you are after but you can do anything with AE

    You could do this in After Effects with the wiggle expression.

    Really? How? All I can make it do is shake the screen around - I can't find a horizontal waves effect like the old-fashioned TV shows. Any giudance or a walk-through would really help, please.

    Ooops.  Wave Warp is what I meant.

    For a "dream sequence" from many years ago, I went on a search for a Transition, that worked for me. I ended up with Pixelan's Spice Master, though looked at ProDad's and NewBlue FX's Transitions, as well. None was free, but none was very expensive either (each had sets of various Transitions, and I did not mind paying the fairly low price, though I really only needed a few). Pixelan has great power, and even better customer support. I could not recommend a 3rd party provider more highly.

    Good luck, and maybe others will have more suggestions. Back when I was working on that Project, they certainly did, and many of those folk are still around here, but those threads are long gone (here and in the AE forum, as well), because so much of the older stuff was lost when Adobe changed the forums (actually twice, since the days of that Project).

    Thanks Bill, Those guys really do have some terrific products and transitions, especially NewBlue. I was put off a little by Pixelan's primitive website and low-grade samples but they seem to have some nice things. However, none of those sites do what I want, which is the horizontal wave distortion. I guess what was fairly easy in film or early TV video is very difficult in modern digital editing. I've been asking for Dream but what I think I mean is FlashBack. You see people doing that wavy-hand-in-front-of-the-body action to indicate the flashback transition. That's the transition i'm looking for and I can't find it.If you can think of anywhere else I might try, I'd be very grateful.
